Tower Ascension

'Why does everyone keeps hitting me?' Peter asked himself when he got the slap from his sister. But that slap really hurt him even though it wasn't the physical pain. He knows he deserves that slap. Finally, his sister wrapped her hands tightly around him as if she feared losing him once again.

"It's alright! I won't die. This time I promise not to break the promise." Peter patted her head and spoke with deep love. He didn't promise to disappear. Because he will disappear. After all, he will enter the tower.

But until then, he will act as a proper big brother and try not to die. But his words weren't enough to reassure him. His sister didn't let him go. Fortunately, she didn't cry either.

"Aron, can you bring some food?" Peter turned his head at the butler and asked.

Hearing his words, Anne looked around and froze for a moment. She didn't until then but it seemed she was in the bar. She looked at her brother with confusion.

"What your brother is going to do now is dangerous, so I can't leave you alone without any protection." Peter sighed as he spoke. He didn't want to hide from his sister. After all, lies only make things worse.

Hearing his words, her hands gripped him tighter. But, Peter smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother has awakened."

When she heard his words, her eyes sparkled with disbelieve. But suddenly, her mood saddened once again. Peter lifted his head and looked at James and said "I will be in Room Zero for a while. Tell Aron to bring food there."

Peter stood up but suddenly looked at James and asked "Nothing has changed, right?"

He asked because he hasn't been here for a long time. James shook his head. Nodding his head, Peter walked to the dark hallway while holding his sister.

"Umm! Can I join Obscure Demon?" In the bar, James walked to a sofa and sat with something on his mind. Suddenly, Daniel raised his hand and asked.

Hearing his words, James looked at him and said "Daniel Carter, the son of Alfred Carter and Ava Carter, the sole heir of Carter Industries, brother of dual awakened Half-Supreme. You have awakened Superspeed Soul Talent. You are a Gold Rank Soul Defender who recently got his license."

"You haven't slaughtered more than ten beasts even during the previous invasion. With that record, you can't join the Obscure Demon. Of course, if it is your sister, then she can easily join. But, I don't think a Half-Supreme will join us."

"But, what if I want to join you?" Suddenly, a voice startled everyone. When they looked at the door, they saw Camellia walking inside. She had changed her clothes. Now, she was wearing a black tracksuit.

"It would be amazing if a Half-Supreme joins us. But, would others agree?" James asked as he keep sitting on the couch. When Camellia passed through the door, her eyes fell on Tina. Her eyes narrowed a little but soon changed.

"Don't tell me James Osborne can't even let the council agree?" Camellia spoke as she sat opposite James.

"Well, if you aren't joking then welcome to Obscure Demons. But I want to know your goal." James asked as he looked into her eyes.

"He doesn't want me to interfere. And, I understand it. So, if I join the Obscure Demon, I will be fighting for the team and not for him." Camellia answered.

"And, why do you think I will agree to make an enemy with Half-Supremes and a Supreme?" James continued to ask.

"Because you believe in him," Camellia answered without even thinking for a moment. As a normal*** girlfriend, she has checked his entire background and knows most of his connections.

"You are right but that doesn't seem to be difficult for you. After all, you are a Half-Supreme." Suddenly, Tina intersected.

Hearing her words, James and Camellia looked at her with the same gaze. Camellia sighed "You don't understand. Just because I am Half-Supreme, I don't have the authority to simply attack Vampire. I need reasons and more importantly, I have agreed to their condition, so I am at the total disadvantage."

"There are situations where even Supreme can't do anything."

At the same time,

Peter went to a dark room and turned on the light. Aron brought the food and left them alone. Inside the room, Anne finally started eating.

"Anne, do you believe me?"

"No!" When Peter heard her answer, he got even more saddened.

"Please! I will not break my promises anymore." Peter got no choice but to convince her. Anne didn't speak. She kept eating and murmured "You know, I am happy that you awakened. But, you made me cry so much. I trusted you when you said me to use the teleportation."

"But, do you know how devastated I was when Camellia to me about your accident? Father and Mother also had accidents. I was alone. Sniff! Neither you were there nor your father and mother. I cried until the tears dried."

Hearing her words, his heart tightened even more. Her words started opening that wound.

"On my awakening day, I wanted to awaken. I wanted to avenge my father and mother. But, I couldn't even awaken."

"Sniff! Sniff!"

Slowly, the tears covered her meal as she stopped eating. Mike puts his arm across her shoulder and pulls her head into his embrace.

"Sorry, sorry for leaving you alone. I promise I will take care of everything. I will avenge father and mother. I will help you awaken."

Ding!

"No, please don't! Brother, you are the only one left for me. Please, don't leave me alone! Please!" Anne threw away the plate and clutched his body. She was literally shaking.

"Anne, what I am about to tell you might shock you but listen, I died. But, I came back for you, father, mother, and her. Not even death was able to separate us. I won't die until you marry and I won't let my family die."

After that, he decided to disclose his secret to Anne. He didn't like hiding things from her. So, when he disclosed everything, she was truly shocked. She understood why her brother said he came back to life just to be together with them.

Of course, Peter didn't tell her about Alice. He didn't know why but he felt danger whenever he thought of mentioning her. He simply told her about the tower and how he could get stronger.

He promised to make her stronger as well. And not just her, but his family, and even Camellia. But not now, his stone heart didn't allow him to disclose this secret to Camellia or his best friends. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't convince his stone heart.

After convincing and spending an hour with Anne, both of them leave Room zero. When they came out, Peter was startled to find Camellia. Suddenly, Anne suddenly left his hands and walked in front of Camellia.

She bowed down and said "Thank you for taking care of me and my parents. I apologize for my previous actions."

When Camellia told her about Peter, Anne not only cursed her but also tried to get physical. Of course, she couldn't hurt her but those words were really heavy for girls.

"It's alright! Even I would have the same reaction as yours if it was me." Camellia shook her head and stood up. She patted her head and looked at Peter. She was thankful that Peter had made her calm. But, it was surprising that Peter did everything while she was sleeping.

But, when she thought more, it wasn't too surprising. Peter normally acts with the plan unless it isn't related to him. Except for the time when he revealed his information openly, he always acts with a plan. Even when he was saving those people, he had a plan.

But, in front of the pure strength, the plan doesn't work.

"Alright, so would you like to share what plan do you have in your mind?" James stood up and walked towards Peter. Just like Camellia, he also knows about Peter's planning habit.

"I have three steps plan. First, I need solid support. I am currently working on it. Second, we need to get our old team together. Even if they are the part of Obscure Demon, I don't think they work together." Peter explained and looked at James for his answer.

"Yes, we have all walked in separate paths. It would be a hassle to convince them. Unless you have a better idea to convince them." James shook his head and answered.

"We will be breaking the fourth code to bring them together. And, then we will use first code to stick them together." Peter answered with a serious expression.

"You aren't serious?" James's expression froze and Tina had the same shock as him.

"I am dead serious. I am going to use the first code to make them stick together. As for the Third, it would be pretty simple. I am going to start a business."

"And, my sister is going to be the CEO."

"What????"
